Joshuab3687 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Very nice! I've already commited to Comp on one he'll be building once he gets the DNA issue he's having resolved. I'll have to see what my vaping budget allows for in the fall, but I want one of yours as well! Great workmanship! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proetus Posted May 11, 2014 Author Share Posted May 11, 2014 Three coats of paint drying. After its dry its gonna get a coat or two of Poly. Light in the basement isn't the best, they look like different colors! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grailhunter78 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 These are really nice looking. Is there a site to find the large to build your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proetus Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 Not really. The pin layout is on evolv's website. The rest is trial and error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proetus Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 In a holding pattern until I get the screen cradle to ensure it fits the opening I made. Hopefully I'm good to go and don't have to file more. If I have to file more, means paint again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proetus Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 Screen cradles arrived the other day. Had to do a little more fit n finish to the enclosure for it to fit. Was expected since i didn't have it while drilling/filing the holes. I got everything fit and GD does it look fantastic! I have to shoot it with Poly either tonight or tomorrow, i'll start wiring it up after i spray it. Test it for a day or two and i'll be done!

VIAWOL Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 It looks great! I want to build one so bad. Could you help m me find the right fuse? Do you know the product code for them? Also I like how you centered the top cap. Nice detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I like how you centered the top cap. Nice detail. Please ensure that you are following all battery safety when building mods. Would hate to see anyone fry a $50 board or worse yet injure yourself or someone else with an improperly wired device. As far as fuses, Start Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proetus Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 Figured i would measure out the last 2 enclosures i have and get the painting process started in anticipation of getting all the parts to finish em up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proetus Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 Well here it is with the satin acrylic clear on it to protect the paint. Knock off a little of the shinyness but it feels good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigClouds1021 Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 You Rock Pro, it looks freaking sweet. I can't wait to get my hands on it. It's going to make everyone at my local B&M vape store/hangout so envious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proetus Posted May 23, 2014 Author Share Posted May 23, 2014 Finally had some time to solder some stuff up. Had a fight with the epoxy putting the screen cradle in that i lost. So i need to sand and repaint/finish the enclosure. Not impressed with that, however it was my fault for slopping **** around. Oh well be careful with epoxy on satin finishes. Lesson learned. Two day setback due to repainting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iheartvape Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I really like the blue one in the earlier post. The blue just makes the buttons pop, and that atty. BTW what atty is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proetus Posted May 23, 2014 Author Share Posted May 23, 2014 Taifun GT clone from slow tech. Works flawlessly, can work on coil w/ a full tank of juice. Big Blu is a dirt n fingerprint magnet. Trying to mitigate that with darker colors and a satin finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proetus Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 Primed, painted and clear coat drying as I type! We'll see how dry it is tomorrow night, might be able to finish it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proetus Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 Finally able to wire it up! charliestheman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proetus Posted May 26, 2014 Author Share Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) All wired up! Functional test before i mount it in the enclosure. Gonna grab some dinner while i wait for the epoxy to set up a little more. Click for video goodness!!

Proetus Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 I mention i hate the ribbon cable on the dna? Snapped the screen off. Small delay, quite irritated right now so i'm gonna put it down for the night and solder on a new board tomorrow night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iheartvape Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Yeah that would upset me too. I haven't even started my build yet... Lol. I have everything picked out, minus the 510 connector, still trying to find that piece. I'm just not sure how I'm gonna do the cuts on the box since I don't have the skills for that part on something that small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
